The return of The Shizit. One of the main influences for Cyanotic was always JP Anderson’s pre-Rabbit Junk project The Shizit, an intense mix of digital hardcore beats, metal guitars and rave synths. It’s been 8 years of silence, but The Shizit is back. Download the new self-titled album entirely for free right here. 11 tracks featuring guest appearances by Cyanotic.

16 Volt tour w/ Cyanotic vs Rabbit Junk west coast!

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

A whole lot of west coast fans have been asking for Cyanotic to come back around since our first west coast tour back in 2k7. We’re beyond ecstatic to be announcing a mega lineup like this for our return.

Cyanotic and Rabbit Junk will be teaming up as a single entity to give fans a full bore audio/visual sensory assault for a round of special engagement west coast shows with our good buddies (and major influences) in 16 Volt.

We’re going to have a Cyanotic vs Rabbit Junk tour
sampler available, featuring songs from our upcoming album “The Medication Generation”, as well as exclusive tracks from both bands. Full tracklisting and details coming soon.

This is going to be two words. Fuckin’. Mighty. That really does say it all.

Spread the word the best you can. Lets do this up right-like. We’re looking forward to playing and partying with all the wonderful people who come out to these shows and make us remember why we make this loud noise.

The new Prehab 25mg-EP is here. The first dose of new sounds.

Prehab 25mg features new tracks from the forthcoming Med:Gen full length album and EP exclusives. This is the definitive soundtrack to a dystopian world view.

Decide for yourself and hear the Prehab 25mg-EP now, streaming in its entirety at Bit Riot Records for a limited time.

Cyanotic fall tour, live video and DJ set

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

Its been just under a year since the psychotranshumanoid west coast tour featuring the power trio of Acumen Nation, DJ? Acucrack and Cyanotic. It was almost three weeks of the best times we have had on the road, sharing the stage and the road with the acu-crew, we were like a roaming tribe of industrial frat boys.

We are all smiles today, with news that the psychotranshumanoid east coast edition will be happening from November 6th through the 22nd. Right before winter bites everybody in the ass and sends people into hibernation, Acumen Nation, DJ? Acucrack and Cyanotic will be hitting the stage with a full audio/visual assault, complete with lights, video and a whole lot of retro-industrial swagger.

We are very happy to announce that Eris (from Born into Oblivion) has joined Cyanotic as a permanent member on live drums. He’s been a huge help since joining up for the 16 Volt tour in June and we have nothing short of praise for the guy. Its a great time for Cyanotic right now, finally solidifying our lineup that has been constantly in rotation since our inception. He’s definitely helpful in “bringing the heavy”, as we like to say, adding that extra layer of human rhythm atop all the machine beats and alien noises.

New live footage from our show in Milwaukee, WI last weekend. “Sensory Overload” on YouTube. Check it.

The last incarnation of the psychotranshumanoid tour was the best experience we have had on the road in our five years of playing live, so we have high hopes that this excursion will be just as great. Remember that as cliche as it might sounds, its the fans that make it worthwhile for us bands, it would mean a lot less to us if we were playing empty rooms every night, so keep that in mind. Downloadable fliers are available HERE — help spread the word and make it worthwhile for us road worn rock bands.

Its been a couple of monumental years for us, having the chance to tour/hang out with our biggest influences and meet so many great people along the way, its given us the inspiration to keep going and given our lives a real purpose. Being on the road is the ultra experience, like a lifetime of memories in just a couple weeks. We can’t wait to get back out on the road and see some familiar faces.
